MINISTERS WANT
STATE PROHIBITION
AT A MEETING OF EVANGELICAL
MINISTERS LIQUOR QUES
TION WAS DISCUSSED. ,
About 50 of the ministers of the evan
gelical churches met in the basement of
Trinity Methodist church at 11 a. m. Mon
ward Avenue Baptist church, presided.
Rev. T. C. Cleveland, the nestor of Pres
byterian preachers in Atlanta, is the sec
retary of the association.
The main subject for discussion was
on “The Churches’ Relation to the
Prohibition Cause in Georgia,” led by Dr.
John E. White. He began by saying that
he believed In a free pulpit, a free church
and a free state. The church should not
dictate to the state nor thf state to the
church.
He said the attitude of the church to
the liquor traffic should be, and is, one
of unswerving and uncompromising hos
tility. They can have nothing in com
mon and the church in Georgia should
seek to mould public opinion against the
saloon.
Rev* Len G. Broughton, pastor of the
Tabernacle Baptist church, agreed with
Dr. White in <ll be had said, but said he
did not think he had gone far enough.
The Tabernacle pastor said the real ques
tion before the state uow is state prohibi
tion as opposed to local option. As a min
ister. he said, he could not advocate any
thing but absolute state prohibition. If
that could not be secured, he would take
the next best thing, if it should be a
state dispensary.
The inter-denortlnational temperance
committee advises all its friends to not
vote for any rtfhdidate who is not pledged
to state prohibition, if that can be secur
ed. Dr. Broughton said that the pastors
should advise their people how to vote in
the coming election. Not many Methodist
or Baptist pastors win go that far, but
will preach on general principles and give
no instructions as to how to vote. He said
he would advise his flock to vote for Du
pont Gtierry or some other prohibition
candidate. He said local option had serv
ed its day. The best thing the whisky
dealers want is iocal option for the sake
of the jug trade. He said he went to Car
tersville onee and was surprised to see
the enormity of the jug trade there.

ALABAMA NEGROES .
TO FORM SOCIAL .UNION
HUNTSVILLE.-Ala.; Nov. 5.-There is
a gossip here that after the ratification
of the new constitution of all the negroes
who can vote under the good charsfcter
clause and others who can in any way
come in under the new constitution will
form themselves into a social unton. The
better element of negroes realise the ut
ter hopelessness of defeating the ratifia
cation of the new document and are look
ing ahead. By forming themselves into
a union it is thought that they will not
be classed with the roavlng horde of
worthless negroes in the statfe who are
detrimental. not only to their race but
good government. While the best ele
ment of the negroes will probably take
such a course as this others threaten that
they will leave the state. No one will
object to this. ~

“From a financial standpoint the oper
ation of the present convict system has
been a decided success. In 1897 the gen

quired to purchase the farm lands needed,
and pay all expenses of the commission,
and this Is the only appropriation from
taxes which has been made since this
commission was created. The new con
tracts took effect on April 1, 1899, and at
that time the aged, infirm and diseased
convicts were placed upon the farm.
From that date until January 1, 1900,
the commission was allowed to use all
of the convict hire, except 125,000, which
was paid into the treasury, net. From
January 1. 1900, to October 1, 1901, there
was paid into the treasury, net, over and
above the appropriation made from this
hire, 861.826.32, and from October 1, 1900,
to October 1, 1901, 881.904.09, aggregating,
net, for two and one-half years, 8168,730.41.
“For the original investment of 850,000
the state has a farm and equipments well
worth this sum and more, besides farm
products on hand valued at $34,600.”
The receipts and expeditures for the en
tire penitentiary system of the state Is
shown as follows:

THE LAW BILL -
TO BE FOUGHT
Students Are Said To Be Opposed to
the Measure of Senator
Ellis.
University law students are making a
strong protest against that portion of the
Ellis bill requiring students to go before
the regular examination boards if they
'do pot complete the two years' course
which provides that the law go Into ef
fect from and after its passage. Friends
of the law schools claim. it would be a
serious blow to such schools if passed,
and a committee from the law class' of
kiercer university has been appointed to
have this feature of the bill modified. The
committee consists of Johnson, of Camb
bell; Stapleton. of Terrell; Lamar, of
Hancock; Mooty, of Troup, and Watson,
of Oglethorpe.
These students do not object to the
measure of Senator Ellis, but do object to
the provision that makes it retroactive
in. their case. The measure provides that
the bill shall go‘into effect immediately
upon its passage.
It is impossible forTnany of the Mercer
law students to complete that course.
Fay? Mr. Watson. They have worked and
toiled and saved up means, just enough
in the case of many, to finish up the one
year's course, as now required by law.
The state is now operating under the
Slaton law as to the examinations of ap
plicants for admission to the bar. The
board consists of three lawyers, Washing
ton Dessau, of Macon, chairman; Joseph
R. Lamar. Augusta, and W. R. Leakin,
Savannah.

JACKSON, Miss., Nov? 4.—A somewhat
sensational letter has been received by
Governor Longlno signed by "The Mothers

peal is made to the governor to stop sa
loons and low dives located in that place.
The letter begins;
“We, the mothers of Scranton, ask you,
for God’s sake,' to save our sons.”
It states that the saloons and brothels
are demoralising and ruining the young
boys of the city from the age of 15 and
upwards. ’ *.

Scranton, except one, . sells whisky on
Sundays. One of them keeps his barroom

TEN CHILDREN
ABE RESCUED
TAKEN FROM HOMES OF IMMOR-
AL PARENTS AND SENT .
TO ORPHANAGE.
PENSACOLA. Fla., Nov. 4.-Ten or
phan children were rescued from homes
of immoral parents Saturday and taken to
the Alabama Methodist Orphanage, at
Summerfield, Ala., where they will be
given a home amid surroundings of a
more Christian nattyrp than that provided
by their parents.
The children ranged tn ages from 2 to 14
years, and the taking them In charge was
regarded as an act of great kindness. The
children are the offspring of parents who
have no sense of shame, and used the
little ones for purposes of running er
rands of a einful nature, but more es
pecially of bringing beer from barrooms.
Their condition In life was reported to
the Humane society and Society of United
Charities, and agents of both these insti
tutions went to wofk ,and collected
enough evidence to warrant the belief that
the parents were not'fit custodians of the
children, and if this be shown the
law provides that that children be taken
away. There was no dlfffculty in showing
this claim, and the children were rescued
from an otherwise sinful and shameful
life. " ■ *
be .1 the parents made a great
seen, when the little ones were taken
from them, and -one shameless woman
threatened sulcidS- If her daughter was
taken from her. The girl was taken, how
ever, and the woman locked up, where she
will be kept unttt’ohe has calmed herself.
The work' was Aone through the com
bined efforts of several ’preachers and the
charitable institutions, and will oe follow
ed closely by the rescue of numerous oth
ers. The police have been instructed to
report all cases needing attention of char
ities, and will do so.

COB MAKES
HIS REPORT
INTERESTING STATEMENT OF
STATE’S AFFAIRS IS MADE
BY SERETARY OF STATE
COOK.
♦ -w
. ’ ’ ■ z
The annual report of Secretary of State
Cook has been issued and placed before
the members of the house and the sen
ate. After listing the railroad companies',
banks' and insurance companies’ charters
and the head right grants given during
the past year. Secretary Cook makes some
important recommendation regarding
amendments to the laws of the state ef
fecting his department.
The secretary states that he believes
that corporation charter fees should be
regulated according to the size of the cor
poration which It is proposed to incor
porate. Under the present law Mr. Cook
says It costs a railroad 100 miles long as
much to get a charter as it would cost a
railroad 1,000 miles long. The same con
dition exists with regard to banks and
their capital stock. Mr. Cook believes
that charter fees should be assessed ac
cording to the amount of capital involved.
Attention is called in the report to the
fact that at present there is no place
where all the Charters of the state issued
by the general assembly, the secretary of
state’s* office and the superior courts of
the 187 counties are recorded. Mr. Cook
states that information is being constantly
asked of his office regarding certain char
ters about .which- he knows nothing. He
recommends that the power of granting
charters in Georgia be given to one tri
bunal.
Mr. Cook Recommends further that this
power be granted to the office of the sec
retary of state.
The report takes to task a large num
ber of companies which it says are doing
a loose business with the Geor
gia. without reporting to any depart
ment of the state government, under the
suprevision of nobody and paying not a
dollar of taxes toward the support of the
state government.” Mr. Cook says he
refers to the numerous concerns operating
under the names of “bond improvement
companies,” “industrial banking unions,
and "debenture redemption companies.
The report says It is sometimes difficult
to tell whether they are life Insurance
companies, acc.uent insurance companies,
building and loan associations or lotteries.
The report then says:
“They usually combine some of the fea
tures of all of these Institutions, togeth
er with other features peculiarly their
own. There is one feature, however, in
which they all agree—they all have three
salaried officers—a president, a secretary
and a treasurer. As long as the concern
holds out these officers get their salaries
whether their patrons ever get back a
dollar they pay in or not.”
Mr. Cook, tn his report, advocates some
plan for the encouragement of state
banks. The report also urges that some
plan be arranged whereby the records in
the archives of the office be preserved.
The county maps he regaras as particu
larly valuable, and thetr preservation a
matter of great Importance.
Old books of record, the report says,
should have care and attention that the
present facilities of the office do not af
ford.

EVASIVE ANSWERS
FROM RAILROADS
Chairman G. V. Gress of the special de
pot committee, appointed by the legisla
ture to revise some plan by which a de
pot could be constructed on the property
of the state, received answers from the
railroad companies on Saturday afternoon
declining to renew the proposition made
the legislature last year, provided the
state should erect a new union station.
And now it is up to the state to devise
some plan by which a new depot can be
built. The answers which were received
from, the various railroad companies were
evasive and intimated that it was time
for the state to suggest a plan.
A committee consisting of Senator Ro
land Ellis of Bibb, Representative Davis
Os Meriwether and Representative Thomp
son of Dooly has been appointed to make
the railroads a proposition. This commit
tee is to meet today, when the legisla
ture returns from Savannah. The mem
bers of the committee say they have sev
eral schemes to present to the railroad
men as yet, and they hope to reach a
satisfactory conclusion before the house
adjourns.

Bibb County Roads In Need of Repair.
MACON, Nov. 4.—Bibb county has long
enjoyed the reputation of having the best
public roads of any county in the state,
but since the chalngang was split in two

getting out of control, until now several

SURE VICTORY
AT THE POLLS
RATIFICATIONISTS IN ALABAMA
CONCEDE ONLY FOUR COUN
TIES TO THE OPPOSITION.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 4.—The
Democratic state campaign committee
feels absolutely certain of a victory at
the polls on November 11th, when the peo
ple will vote for the ratification or re
jection of the new constitution.
The state has been thoroughly canvass
ed with the result that the Democrats
concede to the opposition but the follow
ing four counties: Shelby, St. Clair, Mar
shall and Chilton, while they admit that
the situation Is doubtful in the counties
of Margon, Coosa, Clay and Tallapoosa.
Chairman C. M. Shelley, of the opposi
tion committee, claims that the ratlfica
tloulsts are making claims that are too
stout and that the rural people will be
found solidly against ratification. He
does not give figures neither does he state
in what counties he will win, but wears
a bold front.
HE KILLED AYCOCK; ~_
THEN SHOT HIMSELF
CHARLOTTE. N. C.. Nov. 4.-Wade Ay
cock, a saloon-keeper of Wilson. N. C.,
was shot and killed Saturday by his clerk,
George Gay, who then turned his pistol
upon himself and inflicted Injuries which,
while serious, are not regarded as fatal.
There is no known motive for the crime,
but as Gay Is said to be addicted to the
morphine habit, it Is supposed that he
was crazy when he did the shooting.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson will go on the lec
ture platform early next year. He will be a
drawing card wherever he appears, eays the
Abbeville Chronicle. There are few men who
can compare with Tom Watson in Oratorical
powers or Intellectual attainments.
